When people talk about how tolerant Europeans are I always think of how black players get treated at soccer matches. They throw bananas, batteries and harass them in every possible way. They make Eagles fans look like they are at a elementary school play.

I will have to look up this blog but the writer made some great points on this very topic.

He talked about in Europe many from the Middle East can go right back home realtively easy, thus they don't fully assimilate into the Euro culture. And vice versa.

Also he mentioned the social umbrella that is in Eurpope and immigrants to any part of Europe are not as ambitious as the ones that make it to the States because those that come here know on some level a free ride is not there(contrary to popular belieft) and they also realize the vast potential for hitting it big.

Hands down the US is more diverse.

I can go to any mall in Charlotte and with ease see people from all over the world without blinking.

One last thing I think that sets us apart is our DNA for business and innovation. Its simply expected. We are not afraid to fall on our faces. The Euro's can't grasp this.

I thought this was about nations, not cities...If we compared New York City and London, for example, I might give New York City the edge.

Sorry, lazy post on my part. When we started talking about diversity I went straight to the big cities. I was too lazy to type out Glasgow, London, Edinburgh, etc. in comparison to NYC, SF, LA, Spartanburg, etc. My bad.

European soccer fans in general make Eagles fans look like they are at a school play.
